Photography Tips
The photographer stands close to the water, slightly lowering their head to adjust the angle, ensuring the drum tower and its reflection are fully captured in the frame. The drum tower is positioned at the upper two-thirds of the image, with the reflection occupying the lower part, creating a visual balance. Use a mid-zoom or 2x zoom on a smartphone to reduce distortion while maintaining the clarity and detail of the reflection. Equipment settings: For smartphones, select the professional mode; for cameras, use a 24-70mm focal length, with an aperture of f/4-f/5.6, which can balance architectural details and portraits, capturing the grandeur and elegance of the drum tower.
Walking Guide
Take the subway Line 6 and get off at Guangji Street Station. Exit at D1 and walk along West Street.
Walk straight for 100 meters and you will see the Drum Tower.
